A quartersawn stock will have horizontal grain running from 3 - 9 o'clock, if viewed from the buttplate area ("buttplate / recoil pad removed"), across the "short width / minor axis" of blank. Imagine if you stacked up ~20 yardsticks on top of each other, then view it from the rear. This would represent quartersawn grain structure.

"perfect" or ideal quartersawn grain ( my terms) would be RADIALLY CUT from the center point of the log. This also has the most waste, which is one main reason it is not done often. True quartersawn blanks have degrees of "perfection" for grain stacking ( true horizontal stacking as viewed from the butt plate area, to maybe being "tilted" 30 degrees.
